It's just as deep and devastating as the loss of a human family member. But society often downplays it leaving most suffering in silence - with nowhere to turn ... That's exactly why I created the Pet Loss Grief Support Professional Training with PESI - an online training designed to equip you with the skills, tools and structure to provide truly meaningful support. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, coach and pioneer in the field of pet loss support with over 4 decades of experience. My work has been featured on Animal Planet, and I'm a sought-after trainer among both mental health and veterinary professionals. Now, I want to share with you all I've learned so you can support grieving animal lovers with the empathy and professionalism they rarely receive -- but deeply need. I'll show you exactly how to do this work so you can: Support clients through anticipatory grief, sudden loss, and the emotional trauma of euthanasia decisions Help people work through guilt, shame, regret, and identity loss Serve diverse and often overlooked populations - including men, child-free adults, seniors, and those with service or emotional support animals Facilitate healing by helping clients build resilience, maintain continuing bonds, and transform their grief into meaning Whether you're a counselor, social worker, family therapist or other helping professional -- this training gives you the structure, tools and confidence you need. You don't have to figure this out on your own. I've spent years developing this model, and I'd be honored to walk beside you. The need is real. The tools are here. The time is now. Let's make sure no one has to grieve the loss of their beloved animal alone ever again.
